Nexus Mastering
The final polish that makes a mix release-ready.
Mastering translates your finished mix into a commercially competitive, streaming-optimised final product — consistent loudness, tonal balance and stereo width across every platform your listeners use.
The last 10% that makes the biggest difference
Mastering is where a good mix becomes a finished record. We focus on translation — making sure your track holds up on club systems, laptop speakers, car stereos and earbuds alike, without losing the character that makes it yours.
What goes into every master
Streaming Optimisation
Masters are calibrated for Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube loudness normalisation, so your track sounds intentional, not squashed.
Loudness & Industry Standards
Integrated loudness targets and true-peak limiting are set to match modern commercial releases in your genre.
Stereo Enhancement
Careful widening and mid-side processing add dimension while preserving full mono compatibility.
Final Polish
Subtle tonal EQ, multiband compression and harmonic enhancement bring cohesion and shine to the final mix.
Commercial Release Readiness
Every master is checked against reference commercial tracks in your genre before it's approved for delivery.
File Formats
Delivered as 24-bit and 16-bit WAV, plus high-quality MP3 for quick reference and distributor-ready formats on request.

Mastering, answered
We master toward a target appropriate to your genre and platform, typically balancing perceived loudness with dynamic range so the track still sounds great after streaming normalisation.
Send your final mix with a few dB of headroom on the master bus and no limiter or heavy bus compression — this gives us the most room to work with.
Yes — we regularly master mixes completed elsewhere. We'll listen critically and flag anything worth revisiting before mastering.
Every package includes at least one revision round, with additional rounds available on EP and album packages or as an add-on.
